    Once you start to write in your target language it becomes also easy to speak it.

    Started using the same idiom deck this week, I noticed that it's not ordered by frequency, with a lot of them being quite uncommon. Ended up using morphman to sort it all out which worked out really well, gonna learn them all eventually but I think it's worth it to learn the more common ones first.
    Also not sure if you've tried it before but you can use hypertts to easily add high quality edge tts to all your cards.

    bro seeing how many decks and cards you have due actually gave me anxiety. How does it not seem like too much for you?!

    • @GiovanniSmith
      @GiovanniSmith  Год назад +2

      It's only about 200 cards a day to review, which takes 25 to 30 minutes. I'll be going over this in my next video.

    Also how do you plan to maintain all your languages?

    • @GiovanniSmith
      @GiovanniSmith  Год назад +8

      Maintaining them doesn't take that much effort. Improving is the hard part. I just make sure to read or watch something in those languages every day.

    How much time do you spend on Anki every day? Looking at that stack of decks gave me anxiety!

    Love ur videos!! Makes me want to study even more. Are there ever times where you are able to intuit out a word, so you don't make a card for it? This may not be true, but I've been studying Korean for about 6 years and I know that they're verisimilar, but there are ,lots of words in Korean that I can just recognize because of the way the words are structured that make others easier to recognize.
    Also, what browser are you using?

    • @GiovanniSmith
      @GiovanniSmith  Год назад

      Just the other day I came across a word (2 characters) that I didn't know how to pronounce off the top of my head, but I still knew what it meant. This is because characters with similar ideas or emotions use the same radicals, so you can get a sense of what something means purely visually. Responding to your question more directly, I only make a card if I don't think I would have been able to use the word on my own.
      In fact, I remember when I came across the phrase 海森堡测不准定律 (Heisenberg uncertainty principle). I could figure out what it meant, but I wouldn't have been able to say it on my own, so I made a card for it.
      Edit: I use the Brave browser

    Can I ask why it is you learned Mandarin? Planning to work in China or such?

    • @GiovanniSmith
      @GiovanniSmith  Год назад +7

      After Spanish in highschool, I wanted to learn another language, and Mandarin is just the language I chose. It was quite random actually, as it could have been Japanese, French, German, etc. I wanted a challenge, and I got one

    DO YOU still use migaku?

    • @GiovanniSmith
      @GiovanniSmith  Год назад +1

      No, I use my sentence mining script to quickly make audio-sentence cards. I posted that video earlier this year detailing how it works. With Migaku, sometimes the subtitle timings would be off, meaning that when you made a card, the audio might be cut off or lead into the next sentence. Doing it manually with my scripts means you have to time the starting and stopping of the recording, but I like it more because of the flexibility. I also had to pay a subscription with Migaku, which is fair because it's a living piece of software, however my free script option works fine as well.
